DMS - Storage Filesystem

Dear all,
We need to implement the DMS to put documents via transaction CV01N.
At the moment we have done this using the option to storage the documents in a database table.
But we need to storage the documents in an external filesystem. Can you provide the rigth configuration that we need to implement in the transaction OAC0.
Best Regards
Thanks in advanced

Hi Pedro,
You can store the documents on a fiel system, but why dont you install the content server with maxDB?
That is a really good option, and historically works really well.

  • DMS storage category

    Hi Friends,
    While designing Storage system we have the following option. We have much space in our DEV / QA server. So we don't want to make one more server for this DMS storage category.
    In this case we want to do the settings in the following way while creating content repository in T.code: OAC0.
    Storage type - 03 SAP system data base
    Rep. Sub type -  Normal
    Version no : 0045
    Contents table: DMS_CONT1_CD1
    While creating doc. type in the field Use KPro- we will tick the check box.
    We want to use KPro of SAP server itself. If after some time we will add space if required by adding more hard disk.
    Is it OK. Pls. suggest.
    Regards,
    Sai Krishna

    Hi Sai Krishna,
    There are a two 'storage types' option available. Each one has specific advantage over the other. The storage category is selected on the basis of how the document in question is intended to be used:
    1. 'DMS Storage' option(may store in SAP DB,Vault,RFC Archive), you can store upto 2 originals/documents and 99 additional files.
    2. 'kPro Storage' option(may store in SAP DB,HTTP Content Server), you can store 'n' originals/documents and 'n' additional files
    NOTE:
    HTTP content server
    Either the SAP Content Server or a third-party content server can be used.
    SAP database
    If you want to store your documents in the SAP database, you need a content table. All your documents are stored in this table in the SAP database. The content table can be cross-client or client-specific.
    RFC storage system
    RFC is used for storing documents in the context of SAP ArchiveLink, the Archive Development Kit (ADK), or an application that uses SAP ArchiveLink or the ADK.
    Logical repository
    This storage type allows access to different physical repositories, independently of the client and the system ID.
    Structure repository
    The structure repository is only used in the SAP Knowledge Warehouse environment.
    In summary, suggest you decide upon your storage category once the rationale behind the usage of the document is agreed upon by all the stakeholders.
    P.S. Regarding your question specifically, what you intend to do also holds good.

  • DMS STORAGE CAPACITY

    Hi Dms Guys
      If i wnt to know DMS total  storage capacity how to find. If i wnt to find capacity document wise
    If there is any solution let me know.
    Regards
    Meenakshi

    hi,
    As such DMS storage capacity is not there... u have to define DMS storage capacity on content server with reference to document generation capacity. e.g we have to find out application wise document generation means for MS Word how much is legacy data.. how much is data generating over period of time... compression ratio and user to keep log space... likewise we have to find out for each application and then by adding all these we will get the required capacity of content server.. The folowing attachment will give you detail overview of capacity settings on content server..
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/400a0694-0701-0010-3a8f-c1a9b6afc3fa
    Also u can restrict capacity of document type in tcode dc10.
    Please let me know if u want any further information.

  • EHPI and DB2 DMS storage management

    Hi Guys,
    I am having a trouble with Enhancement package installer while applying enchancement packs to ABAP instances in DB2 environment. I am using DMS  storage managementmethod  in DB2 for tablespace management. While applying the enhancement pack1 for netweaver the installation tool asks for creation of new tables and I create the required tables spaces as I needed. The tool fails with insufficent space in tablespaces. However the tablesspaces are setup to grow when required not like assigned free space in a tablespace.The file system has total 16GB available and it only needs about 3GB. Since it can't see some required freespace available with in the tablespace it can't proceed.
    1) Did any one face this issue. IF so how to overcome this issue.
    2) Is there anyway we can bypass this check and cotinue with installation. In some steps we can jump with a password but there is no such thing to this step.
    Your early reply is highly appreciated.
    Regards
    Srini

    EHPI tool itself check how much space you needed in a tablespace. You have to add that space in tablespace then only you can proceedd otherwise it will always show the error...
    thank sunny

  • DMS Storage in SAP Database with Kpro.

    Hello SAP Gurus,
    we are using the ECC 6.0 client and still have not configured any content servers for storing the originals,
    but i could make use of Kpro Tick in Document type and attach n no of file to DIR,
    also i have tried using KPRO tick and also making the file Size as 00000,
    but its working and allowing me to store originals in DMS_C1_S1 content repository.
    But when i dont give Kpro tick in document type, then original is not checked in using KPRO, (but again it is also storing original in SAP Database), then it is at this point it is required to give the file size or else it is giving the error,  what is the reason for this strange behavior,
    as in both the case the document is getting stored in SAP database only.
    as content repository DMS_C1_S1 is again using SAP Data Base itself. (Verify from OACT transaction.)
    Please clarify,
    Points awaiting.
    regards
    Priya

    Dear friends thanks for your reply,
    as i have detailed in my quiry,
    i could see  if we use Kpro we can attach more than 2 originals in a DIR, and also get the advantages of Kpro,
    and if i dont give Kpro tick only 2 originals can be attached in the original.
    but in both the cases the original is being stored in the SAP Database only.(in my case as content server is not yet installed)
    i want to know as the original files if stored in SAP DMS either with Kpro or with out Kpro, can this original files stored be copied in to external storage device say CDs and opened with out SAP logon. (like opening the files in normal windows system)
    thanks and regards,
    Priya

  • DMS storage and structure

    Hi
    1) How to attach the GOS PC attachment with PO document using DMS
    2)Where and how the attachment is stored in DMS?
    Can I assume DMS is nothing but like SAP server where u store the attachments in DMS format.
    Pls suggest me
    Regards
    Ckumar

    Hi Christoph
    Thanks for your reply.
    I want to store GOS attachment at header level for SAP document(PR) in DMS scenario.
    Can you elaborate me bit more about Archive link. How its stored in DMS scenario
    pls correct my understanding if wrong.
    Using GOS scenario/attachment in header level
    1) I believe if i am attaching some file(pdf or doc)  to PR/PO document using GOS, the file is stored in
    SAP db table(table SRGBTBREL & SOOD) by default
    2) In case of DMS scenario, what happens with respect to attachment file and storing part.
    I observed only original files(min 2) attached in item level can only be managed or stored in DMS scenario(in sap file server/Content sever). To do this we need to configure DMS setting(DC10,20,30) in ERP system.
    I want to know how GOS attachment is stored physically and managed by archivelink.
    pls shed light on this.
    Regards

  • Easy DMS | storage category

    Dear experts,
    is it possible to create a dependency between document types and storage categories in EDMS?
    EDMS has to select a storage category by default or inherited it from root folders?
    e.g.
    project documents => StorCat 01
    office documents => StorCat 02
    System: ECC 6.0 and EDMS 7.0
    Thanks in advance...

    HI,
    Check: Z_EASYDMS_GETNEWFILEDATA or BADI method - EASYDMS_MAIN01~GETNEWFILEDATA. You can change the storage category.
    check note: 830773

  • DMS Storage - SAP DB Upper Limit

    Hi,
    My customer is interested in knowing the safe upper limit upto which size documents can be safely uploaded in SAP DB.Eg: upto 200 GB etc(assuming std R/3 implementation) or is it that we keeping expanding the hard disk size

    Hi James,
    The size of database is different for different projects. so first know the exact total size of database in your project and safe way is you can use max.1/4 the size for dms or install separate server. Also if you are using sap database for storing dms documents then you can attach max.2 attachment two one DIR. If you use separate server you can attach up to 99files to one DIIR.
    I hope this will resolve the query.

  • Error in DMS document

    Hello all,
    I am using the following FM for DMS storage of documents.
    BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2
    When i execute the BAPI i get the following error :
    Error while checking in and storing: D:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS
    Can anyone help out on the same and tell the DMS setings or Basis settings that needs to be done.
    Regards,
    Arun

    Hi!
    It seems for me, in the DOCUMENTFILES parameter, there is not the full path and filename given to the FM, through the DOCPATH and DOCFILE fields.
    It supposed to seem somehow like this:
    DOCUMENTFILES-DOCPATH = 'D.Documents and settingsSAPDMS_upload'
    DOCUMENTFILES-DOCPATH = 'test.doc'
    Or something like that.

  • Migration of orginals between two KPro storage systems

    Hi Friends
    I have created a document and checked in the originals into Storage category - SAP-SYSTEM (DMS_C1_ST-Default storage DMS (main files)).I have checked "Use KPro" configuration in "Define document type". Now, I need to migrate this originals into a fileshare system, which i have created as a new storage category(ZNEWDMS).How can I go about?
    I know there is program DMS_KPRO_CONVERT available. But this program migrates documents from DMS storage(Vault, Server, Archive) to KPro storage. My requirement is to migrate the originals between two KPro storages ie From DMS_C1_ST to ZNEWDMS.
    Could anybody help me on this?
    Regards
    S.Sivakumar

    Hi,
    I noticed this thread is a bit old, but I thought I would ask anyways.
    I have the following situation:
    Multiple SAP Instances, each with their own KPRO. A consolidation project to move towards a single SAP Instance. The multiple KPRO's stay as is.
    I am assuming the easiest wat to go about this is to ALE all the metadata of the various SAP instances to the new instance. Would the KPRO links remain intact?
    As part of the consolidation, Objects like materials and equipments have changed, e.g. Material 100 has changed to Material E100. For this I would assume a Bapi to update all the DIR's with the new Objects? This I am hoping would sever the old Object Link and create the new one?
    Any suggestions please.
    Thanks.
    Freddie.

    i think that the permissions on /mnt/1 need to be changed so that your "normal" user can read it. check out chmod.

  • How to archive billing docs in PDF format on the application server?

    Hi,
    I want to archive billing docs in PDF format on the application server.
    Formerly on our SAP system, Archivelink was set up to archive these documents to an HTTP content server. Since we no longer have this server, I want to adapt it to simply output the PDFs to a filesystem on the application server. I have tried to reconfigure the content repository (tcode OAC0) without success.
    Am I on the right track?
    If so, which document area, storage type, etc should I use?

    Hi Slath,
    from DMS point of view you may use the storage category 'DMS_C1_ST' and the content repository 'DMS_C1' as a kind of template. The document area for DMS storage categories has to be maintained as 'DMS'.
    Best regards,
    Christoph
